Chapter 844 is insignificant
Although Lu Bu's words seem to be asking himself on the surface, they actually don't give him any choice.
If I dare not agree, I believe that Lu Bu, who was smiling just now, would definitely turn against him in an instant.
However, since the decision to surrender had been made, Zhang Xun would no longer have any reservations. Besides, Yuan Shu treated him as cannon fodder, so why did he still have to give him any mercy?
I have to say that people's mentality changes so quickly, sometimes it is indeed so fast that it is scary.
Not long ago, Zhang Xun thought that he would die in the name of loyalty and righteousness, but now he has left all the so-called loyalty and righteousness behind him.
He agreed to Lu Bu's request without any hesitation, and then took the lead in leaving the city to lead the way for Lu Bu.
Lu Bu did not delay any of it, and followed Zhang Xun and headed straight for Juchao with his elite cavalry.
As for the wealth left by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu was not worried at all. He only left a team of people to guard it because Lu Bu was relieved of Chen Gong by one hundred people.
He knew that Chen Gong would definitely leave the most essence and most valuable part of that wealth.
The remaining ones that have to be handed over to Cao Cao are huge, but their value is definitely not as great as those left by Chen Gong!
This is another reason why Lu Bu and Chen Gong wanted to transfer all Xu Huang and Xu Huang's confidants away. They had long focused on the wealth in Shouchun City.
You should know that Yuan family in Runan, where Yuan Shu is located, is not a small family.
The Yuan family, who had four generations and three dukes, had accumulated a lot of wealth. Yuan's family would definitely spare no effort to support Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family.
Shouchun is another big city that Yuan Shu has run for many years. It is not an exaggeration to describe the wealth here as a country. How could Lu Bu and Chen Gong not think about it?
Although Lu Bu followed Dong Zhuo to rob the Han Palace once, most of it was swallowed by Dong Zhuo. All Lu Bu could leave behind was the only part of it.
Moreover, this wealth fell into Guan Yu's hands when Lu Bu was defeated by Guan Yu and fled from Yongzhou. In addition, the wealth left by Dong Zhuo was also taken away by Liu Yuan.
It can be said that the Han royal family has accumulated hundreds of years of wealth, and now more than 90% of it has fallen into Liu Yuan's hands.
As the blamed Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo only gained the reputation of robbing the royal family!
If Lu Bu can be at ease with Cao Cao as a general, then his demand for money and property is not very great. After all, Cao Cao can solve all the soldiers and supplies for him!
But Lu Bu was willing to be a rude person. He had already made the decision to rebel against Cao Cao. Since he wanted to rebel, he had to be fully prepared.
None of the things such as soldiers, supplies, and weapons are not big investors in consumer finance. Without the support of large amounts of money, Lu Bu was not able to rebel against Cao Cao at all.
Therefore, Lu Bu and Chen Gong had already been salivating about the wealth in Yuan Shu's hands.
As the saying goes, a pillow fell from the sky, Zhang Xun's surrender gave Lu Bu and Chen Gong enough time to deal with the wealth.
Chen Gong was tampering with it. By the time Xu Huang brought people into Shouchun, Chen Gong probably had already dealt with all the heads and tails, and it was impossible for Xu Huang to see any flaws!
With this pride and Zhang Xun, who was very familiar with the terrain of Yangzhou, not long after Lu Bu left the city, he discovered Yuan Shu's traces and led his army to bite Yuan Shu's tail tightly.
At this moment, the battle on Xu Huang also ended. Under Xu Huang's leadership, Han Xian and Yuan Shu's second batch of reinforcements were almost wiped out.
Han Xian died under Xu Huang's big axe. Looking at the corpses surging on the ground, Xu Huang's anger was somewhat vented.
Qingfeng has followed his confidants for many years and has been here for so many years of war. However, I didn’t expect that such an unknown land would become Qingfeng’s bones buried!
The pain in Xu Huang's heart was so deep that it was. After confirming that there were only a very small number of fish that had escaped the net, Xu Huang looked up and looked towards Shouchun.
Just as he fought with Han Xian's subordinates, he had already heard the shouts of killing coming from the direction of Shouchun.
As a general who has been fighting for many years, Xu Huang of course guessed most of the incident at the first time.
It seems that Lu Bu had already planned Qingfeng to death. The reason why Qingfeng blocked the enemy here was entirely because Lu Bu wanted to make him a target to attract the enemy's attention!
After the enemy troops in Shouchun City were attracted by Qingfeng, Lu Bu found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation to attack Shouchun.
Lu Bu, Lu Bu, you are really calculating!
But how could a certain subordinate let you do this? If you can't let this anger for your subordinates today, what will happen to me, Xu Huang, in the future, to face those subordinates who are loyal to him?
Thinking of this, Xu Huang glared at Shouchun with hatred, and then led the remaining thousands of troops to the direction where Shouchun City was located.
As for the military city that had an extremely important position before, its status plummeted after Shouchun City was attacked.
Even if we give up that military city directly now, it will be insignificant for them to take down Shouchun.
However, in order to avoid his excuse for Lu Bu, Xu Huang did not really plan to do so.
He just led his subordinates to Shouchun and sent people back to the military city to dispatch troops. He decided to leave only a thousand people to defend the military city at most, and he would take all the remaining troops with him.
If Lu Bu cannot give him a satisfactory explanation this time, Xu Huang doesn't mind turning against Lu Bu directly. Even if he is forced, he will force Lu Bu to bow to him!
For this reason, he had to take out most of his subordinates, after all, Lu Bu's personal force was not something he could compete with.
However, when Xu Huang came to Shouchun with anger, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The lord's Cao banner was actually flying on the head of Shouchun City in front of him.
Could it be that Lu Bu has taken Shouchun down? If so, it would be difficult for him to seek justice for his subordinates. After all, winning Shouchun is a real military achievement.
In the war, not to mention a general of Qingfeng's level, even if Xu Huang is the one who wins the entire battle, he will probably have the same fate as Qingfeng when he is about to be sacrificed.
But if it is time to sacrifice him, Xu Huang, either the lord has reached the point of life and death, or it is in the most critical battle in the whole unification of the world.
Although the level of the battle is different, there is no difference in essence.
The reason why I hurriedly led my army to Shouchun as soon as the battle ended was to prevent Lu Bu from enjoying the great contribution of Shouchun!
Only in this way can he have an excuse to cause trouble for Lu Bu, but now it seems that he is still one step late.
Shouchun has obviously fallen into Lu Bu's hands, and Qingfeng's sacrifice this time has become insignificant in the face of such a great victory!
